Alice Merton is a singer/songwriter who was born in Germany, raised in Canada, has resided in the UK and seems to be constantly switching between places.

With her mother being German and her father being Irish, the singer has done a lot of travelling and moving in between the countries. Inspired by never really staying in one place for very long, her viral hit "No Roots" deals with those emotions.

She founded her own label, Paper Plane Records International, and released the "No Roots" EP in 2017. Said EP features another hit single, "Hit The Ground Running" and is the perfect introduction to Alice's sound.

The second single was also the opening track at the Stuttgart show and well, Alice hit the ground running. Excuse the pun.

Her live show is bubbly, filled with laughter, honesty and gratitude.The latter which the audience could feel throughout the show. Multiple times during the set, Alice would talk about how thankful she was that people showed up and gave her their time and willingness to listen to her music.

The trio that makes up Alice's band definitely deserves a mention;
whether that's guitars, keys or drums - every member played a brilliant part and made it obvious that each musician really enjoyed being on stage. The communication between the band and Alice herself seemed flawless and definitely affected the overall mood of the show.

With calm and serious ballads such as "Back To Berlin" and the melancholic "Jealousy", Alice sat down at the piano and demonstrated her skills as a musician. Of course the crowd went wild when the catchy riff for "No Roots" and happily chanted along during the chorus.

To sum it up, it was an enjoyable and entertaining show and so worth going, just to support a grateful and talented musician.
